Mitigating Compaction Damage in Real-Time for Openhole Sand Control Applications

Subsurface stresses can cause formation faults, slippage, and reservoir compaction, which can damage or permanently shut in<br>a well. Traditional means of detecting these failures are limited and usually require moving a costly rig onto locations, and<br>then interrupting production to re-enter the well. This results in late detection of issues and allows limited counteractive<br>options.
